To Kill a Mockingbird Takes the Stage

First it was a classic novel, then a classic film starring Gregory Peck, and now Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird is becoming a play. The stage adaptation by Christopher Sergel will open at the Intiman Theatre in Seattle on September 19 and play through October 28. Patti Cohenour, who recently understudied the lead role in The Light in the Piazza on Broadway, headlines the cast.
